A separate utility room provides further storage and space for household appliances.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with two wardrobe areas and a feature Juliet balcony accessed via double doors.

A well-appointed and spacious family bathroom completes the first floor, featuring a bathtub with an overhead shower.
To the front of the property, a driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles and is bordered by a picket fence separating it from the front garden. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, with flower beds planted with a variety of perennials, alongside mature hedgerows and trees that add both character and privacy. The grounds extend to the side and rear, where further lawned areas are framed by established hedging, creating a peaceful and secluded setting.
Architectural designs for a potential extension to the property are available upon request, offering prospective purchasers the opportunity to further enhance and tailor the home to their needs.
